Appearance:
Emyries is well built, if a bit short. He stands at five feet two inches, but he would tell you that he is five feet three on a good day. A golden tan is fairly consistent across all visible skin, though the tan lines that exist on his shoulders are the most noticeable of them. His hair is a sable black color with hints of red that shine through on the tips when light hits it in just the right way due to the sun bleaching his hair over the years and amount of time he has spent outside. The length is kept relatively short, but still has some length to it - something considered standard in his country, but even more so when you deal with fire breathing dragons all the time. It has enough length to it that his hair is able to curl around his ears slightly. His hair is fluffy in texture, helped in part by the gentle curling his hair type provides.
His face is diamond shaped with a strong jawline, but not sharp. His eyebrows are somewhere between thin and average. They, like his hair, are also black. His eyes are hooded, but make his green gaze seem sharp, even if he isn't intending it to be. He has a perpetual case of RBF, which makes him seem angrier at everything than he actually is.
His shoulders are broad, but not overly making his frame wider than some, but he definitely does not have the widest shoulders by far. Despite his shoulders he would be considered lean. The balance between his torso and his legs seems proportional. He has a few scars scattered across his body and hands from incidents as a child, from training, and from general activity on the job.
Clothing:
Emyri, due to being partnered with a dragon meant for agility and scouting, wears dark clothing and light armor. His uniform jacket is made of stained black leather that over time has been worn smooth and flexible. This jacket is cropped about halfway down his torso. Black, silver, and amber scales shed from his dragon partner are lined along the outside of his jacket. Some of the shed blade-like scales from Tenebris's tail are set and bent slightly over the curve of his shoulders. The hood of the jacket is free of scales, in an attempt to keep it from being too stiff to be of actual use, save for two rows of alternating black, silver, and amber colored scales that lines the outside of the hood's opening. Under the jacket, a thick dark grey and black patterned shirt that cuts off at the shoulders is worn.
His trousers are made of a cloth similar to that of his shirt, but has the same leather from his jacket sown onto key high traffic areas to help lessen the wear that would otherwise occur naturally to simple cloth pants. Metal chains hang in a "u" shape from his pants on both of his hips. This is partially a fashion thing, but also serves an anchor point for his harness to Tenebris. He has well worn leather boots with thick reinforced soles and toes. He wears them more than any others due to the fact that they give him about another inch in height that he can lay claim to.
Because Emyri is meant to serve as a scout in most situations, he carries short swords - one placed on each hip. There's a single dagger placed in each of his boots as a final measure of protection if something has happened to his swords and Tenebris is otherwise indisposed.
Personality:
Emyries, for all that he likes to try and add to his height in any way he can, isn't actually insecure about his height for the most part. He's not a fan of people ribbing on him for his stature, sure, but he would rather be short and lighter than heavier and taller so that his dragon companion wouldn't have to carry as much weight.
Generally, Ries is outgoing and always up for something new. Trying new foods, experiencing new festivals and cultures he hasn't seen before, and meeting new people have always been highlights in his day. That said, he does also enjoy the things that he already knows. Being able to return to something comforting and familiar after experiencing something new is what enables him to be as inquisitive and interested in the world as he is because he always has something to fall back on, even if things don't go well.
Emyries tries to give everyone the benefit of the doubt before jumping to conclusions or judging them, but that's only when he's able to catch himself and remind himself of that fact. He's impulsive and face-value reactions are what he's able to conjure up the easiest.
He can be reserved at times, mostly in situations that he doesn't have something to fall back on. In those situations he's also often suspicious and combative. His safety net is gone and he is pushed out of his comfort zone, left alone with only himself to rely on.
One of Ries strongest traits, however, is that of his loyalty. When Ries places his trust in someone or something, there is little that can be done in order to sway him from his allegiance. When his allegiances are opposing, it can lead to a significant amount of internal conflict within him. One of the things Ries hates most is those who are disloyal or who break the trust that he places in them.
Background:
Emyries was raised in a region of his country that was considerably remote. It wasn't even close to the next nearest town. Due to the reclusiveness of his home, he was paired with his dragon partner from a young age - or at least earlier than most, as is custom for that region. Part of this was due to long standing connections with the breed of dragon that settled in the area. The Avari dragons, tended to have their children at more senior ages and by that time keeping up with an adolescent or hatchling Avari could often be challenging. The humans in the area, similarly didn't tend to have children until they were past the most youthful era of their lives and could at times have the same issue. To help, both the Avari and humans in the area came to the agreement that pairing an adolescent from each species could be advantageous in keeping the other out of trouble. After all some of the trouble that dragons get in isn't safe for humans and some of the trouble humans get into isn't suitable for dragons. Additionally, both of the adolescents would be able to explore the world together more than they would have been able to separately. The human exploring and traveling farther, and the dragon exploring what was on the ground, the likes of which they might have just passed by. This is at least what the humans state the reason for the pairing is for and why they initially occurred. Regardless, Tenebris and Emyries are about as thick as thieves as a dragon and human can be.
Emyries grew up with a set of adoptive parents, his father having died of an illness when Ries was two and his mother following a few months after he turned three. He doesn't remember either of them, but has been told that they were good people who did the best they could for him even when they were sick.
His adoptive parents, Zira and Micah, raised him in their one story dwelling, built under the shelter of a cliff. Zira was native to the region, however, Micah was a transplant to the region who moved after falling in love with Zira. These two in general have been Emyries blueprint for what romantic love should look like.
Emyries was raised as an only child with only himself to entertain himself if his parents were busy. This was particularly because the house he was raised in was rural even within the region it was located in, and the nearest house was far enough away that one would have to go by dragonback.
He joined up with the dragon section of the army, the Airborne Corps when he was 16, though was relegated to training until he was 18.

Dragon:
Name:
Tenebris
Acceptable Nicknames:
Open
Gender:
Male
Age:
Unsure/Ambiguous
Maturity:
Late Adolescence
Breed:
Avari - a type of quick and agile dragon, with short ranged fire and sharp blade-like scales scattered throughout their body.
Appearance:
Black body with silver and amber colored scales alternating across his chest. Blade-like scales protrude from between his silver curved horns and trail down his neck in an alternating pattern. Larger blade-like scales located on the end of his tail in a fan-like arrangement help with making tight turns. His wings are large and the inner side of his wingers are amber, matching with his short amber talons, the outside of his wings remain his base black. His wings themselves reach about 85 feet and is body from nose to end of his longest blade-like scale on his tail reaches 135 feet. More flexible scales that from a distance look like fur exist on his leg joints. Deep red eyes stare out at things around him with sharp slitted pupils. Tenebris terminally looks kind of angry at everything.
Personality:
Tenebris is generally an easy going dragon, but has a wide protective streak when it comes to what's his. He does not like the idea of others encroaching on, what to him, is his territory. This has been curbed through the years he has spent as a part of the Airborne Corps with Emyries.
When Tenebris is content he's a little bit of a trickster, pulling off moves that he otherwise would not, just to mess with Emyries. Much like Emyries, Tenebris likes to experience new things and see new places, an explorer's mindset at heart.
